Feds: Dayton-area woman made $2.5 million in sex-for-money scheme [View all]

A Michigan millionaire and his alleged $30,000-per-month escort — the aunt of a woman indicted in the murder-for-hire plot of Beavercreek’s Robert Caldwell — are being investigated for money laundering, conspiracy, illegal interstate sexual activity and tax crimes, according to federal court documents.

A federal search warrant filed in Dayton’s U.S. District Court lays out the probable cause case against George Helms and Lisa R. Thomas, the aunt of Tawnney (Thomas) Caldwell.

Helms allegedly paid $30,000 per month to Thomas for exclusive escort services that federal investigators said was a sex-for-money scheme that netted Thomas more than $2.5 million.

Helms and Thomas have not been indicted in the federal investigation, and law enforcement has not accused Helms as being connected to Caldwell’s death. Prosecutors have not brought charges against Thomas in Caldwell’s death or the disappearance of his son, but Thomas has been named as a plaintiff in a wrongful death lawsuit brought by Caldwell’s widow.
